                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


NOTE 1 -  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have not been presented. The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes
included in the Company's report to the Securities and Exchange Commission on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993. 

In the opinion of the management of Care, all material adjustments necessary
to present fairly the Company's financial condition, its results of operations
and changes in financial position have been made.  All material intercompany
balances, profits and transactions have been eliminated.  Certain prior period
balances have been reclassified to conform to current period classifications. 
The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1994 are not necessarily indicative of the consolidated operating results for
a full year.

NOTE 2 - MERGER
On April 4, 1994, Care and Regency Health Services, Inc. ("Regency") completed
their previously announced merger.  Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of December 20, 1993, as amended, Care Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Regency, was merged with and into Care, and Care became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Regency.  Each share of common stock of Care was converted
into 0.71 share of common stock of Regency.

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES
As of December 31, 1993 Care had claimed a federal net operating loss
carryforward for tax purposes ("Tax NOL") of approximately $93,200,000 and
credit carryforwards of approximately $4,000,000.  However, when the Company's
Plan of Reorganization was confirmed, an ownership change as defined in Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 occurred.  The Company had previously determined that
this ownership change may subject the pre-confirmation Tax NOL and carryforwards
to an annual limitation of approximately $300,000; a maximum of $3,300,000 was
expected to be available for use prior to expiration.

In March 1994 the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations relating
to net operating losses, and specifically relating to the determination of
eligibility for the use of Section 382(l)(5).  Section 382(l)(5) could reduce
the aggregate Tax NOL and credit carryforwards available but would not limit
their annual use.  Based on the new regulations, management believes the Company
qualifies for the use of this section.  After applying its provisions, the
amount of Tax NOL available for use is approximately $53,000,000.  This amount
is subject to adjustment as a result of the IRS examinations of the Company's
income tax returns for the years 1987 through 1990.  In addition, as a result of
the merger with Regency, the Company's use of its Tax NOL will be subject to an
annual limitation of approximately $7,900,000 in periods after the merger.

Based on the new regulations, the Company has reduced its income tax liability
for 1992 and 1993 by an aggregate of $2,610,000, representing the benefit of the
use of the pre-confirmation Tax NOL.  This amount has been recorded as an
increase to Additional Capital at March 31, 1994.  For 1994, the estimated tax
benefit resulting from the usage of pre-confirmation Tax NOL of $750,000 has
also been recorded as an increase to additional capital, with a corresponding
amount included in the provision for income taxes as a charge in lieu of taxes.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity

Care's principal source of liquidity continues to be cash provided by
operations.  During the three months ended March 31, 1994, cash provided by
operations was approximately $401,000.  Cash used in investing activities
totalled $613,000, including capital expenditures of $688,000 partially offset
by collections on notes receivable.  Cash used in financing activities was
$358,000, consisting of payments on notes, mortgages, and other debt of $377,000
offset slightly by the proceeds from the exercise of stock options.  

The Company's working capital increased by $4,721,000 to $10,490,000 at March
31, 1994.  The increase was primarily due to the reduction of the Company's
income tax liability for certain tax years resulting from the utilization of
pre-confirmation Tax NOL's, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.  Other increases in working capital came from an increase in the
current maturities of mortgage notes receivable and from operations.

On December 30, 1993 Care sold $30,000,000 of its 8.1% Senior Secured Notes to
a number of institutional investors in a private transaction.  The notes have
an average maturity of five years and provide for semiannual interest
payments, with annual principal payments of $6,000,000 commencing in January,
1997.  The proceeds of the notes were used to pay $18,851,000 of existing
debt, including the remaining balance of $11,569,000 on the Term Notes.  An
additional $495,000 was used to pay the outstanding balance of a capitalized
lease obligation and purchase the related facility.  Proceeds of the borrowing
were also used to pay costs and expenses of the issuance of the notes
totalling $1,139,000, and $709,000 was used to establish cash escrows with a
title company pending the resolution of certain title and debt payoff related
issues and to pay certain other costs.

In March 1994 Care entered into an $8,000,000 letter of credit facility with
the Bank of America to replace $6,238,000 letters of credit previously issued
by another bank to be used in connection with its self-insured workers'
compensation programs in California and Ohio.  The new letter of credit
facility allowed Care to further improve liquidity by substituting an
additional $1,762,000 in letters of credit for cash collateral previously held
by certain regulatory agencies.

Quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared to 1993

Revenues for the first quarter of 1994 increased by $5,221,000 compared to the
same quarter of 1993.  The change consisted primarily of increases of $4,676,000
for nursing and rehabilitation centers and $570,000 for home health, offset by
other changes totalling $25,000.  The increase in nursing and rehabilitation
center revenues is attributable to several factors. Medicare revenues increased
by $2,860,000 due to the continued growth of therapy, subacute, and other
specialized clinical services and a 13% increase in Medicare utilization. 
Medicaid revenues increased by $410,000 primarily due to rate increases, offset
slightly by lower Medicaid utilization.  Managed care revenues increased by
$851,000 principally due to the development of new contracts with managed care
organizations.  Home health revenues increased due to continued business
development.  

The increase in salaries and employee benefits is the result of wage rate
increases and, to a lesser extent, increased labor hours and the resulting
increase in payroll-related costs for nursing and rehabilitation centers and
home health.  The increase in labor hours is primarily the result of growth of
the home health business.

Supplies and other expenses consist of food, routine supplies, costs related to
therapy services, utilities, maintenance and other general and administrative
expenses.  The increase in supplies and other expenses is primarily the result

                     CARE ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Results of Operations (continued)

of higher therapy-related costs in the nursing and rehabilitation centers and
home health due to Care's increased provision of those services.  The increased
emphasis on the provision of therapy services also resulted in an increase in 
the cost for contract therapists, which accounts for most of the increase in
purchased services.  Other costs and expenses increased due to the imposition of
a new health care provider tax in West Virginia subsequent to the first quarter
of 1993.

Interest expense increased due to higher outstanding debt balances resulting
from the issuance of $30,000,000 of Care's 8.1% Senior Secured Notes in
December, 1993 to retire $19,346,000 in debt and capitalized lease obligations. 
On January 1, 1994 Care assumed the operation of a 64-bed residential facility,
which accounts for most of the increase in lease and rent expense.
